It is 2,200 miles through the mountains, and you will be sleeping in the wilds…But Devils Backbone Brewing will fuel your journey with free beer…so there’s that.

Here’s the deal…

The Appalachian Trail is one of the nation’s most spectacular hikes. Running more than 2,200 miles, Maine down to Georgia, it’s a walk through the woods that’s not for casual strollers. Conditions can sometimes get nasty. This is a 5 to 7 month journey that demands sustenance.

But Devils Backbone Brewing, which is nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, just a few miles from the Appalachian Trail, will provide all the beer, plus a $20k to keep you going, transportation to the trailhead and a bounty of hiking gear!

This from Devils Backbone’s job posting…

“This spring we’re accepting applications for our 2021 Chief Hiking Officer. That’s right: we’re going to pay someone to hike the Appalachian Trail in 2021. We’ll outfit our CHO with gear, fly ‘em to the trail head, and throw some big ol’ beer parties along the way. Plus, there’s a $20k stipend.”

Qualifications? You’ve gotta love hiking and beer. We mean really love it. We’re talking 2,200 miles, camping under the stars, pack-in-pack-out for 5-7 months love it.

If this sounds like your dream job (and we gotta admit it does sound pretty awesome) you can register HERE

You’ll be asked to submit a submit a 60-second video that explains why you’re the best fit to be Devils Backbone’s Chief Hiking Officer.

You’ll also need to be to be a little social media savvy because the Lexington, Virginia headquartered brewery, which was purchased by Anheuser-Busch in 2016, will be expecting its CHO to be chronicling the epic journey, in addition to fending of bears and avoiding poison ivy.
